Jamie_Beatson Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi everyone, I've just done a full close season upgrade of the software and update of the database. The site seems to be running fine to me, if a little slow. That sometimes happen when you tinker with a database with over 3/4 million posts in it! There have been a couple of slight tweaks to the visual appearance of the site, including the addition of sidebars in the forum home, topic list and post view pages. This is to facilitate the new advertising blocks that will appear in the coming days to help fund the site's continued (and ever increasing) hosting and software expenses. If you notice any issues please post them in here. Thanks, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burghsaintee Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi, I've not been on here for ages and just starting getting notification emails stating there has been an additional post to a topic I'm following. Tried to change in notification settings and seems there is no setting to state you don't want emails, only option to have each time, once a day or once a week.

Abernethy Saint Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 I started getting them months ago. Just set it to once a week, and takes about 1 second to delete it, four times a month. Not a huge deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranmere Saintee Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 If you go into the topic you are receiving the emails for, at the top right of the page is a Follow button, click on this and you should have the option of not receiving notifications.

sleepless Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Jamie, I think there's a problem with the update notification if new posts are made to a thread you're still in. It used to come up with who had posted a new comment. Now, I'm just getting a black box at the bottom with no writing on it and nothing to press to bring up the new post.

Shaggy Jenkins Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Dosent seem to be rendering particularly well for mobile. The banner add is bleeding into the right hand side giving a whole column of nothing, which you slip into when scrolling. Also no option to view desktop site even although my browser is set to request it. Other than that looking good and thanks for your continuing efforts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 At last, managed to "quote" a post using my BlackBerry pad, on return from hols. My phone and Kindle Fire (which I had on hols with me) won't allow quote button to operate. When clicking quote, "reply to this topic box appears." Further click to bring up keyboard, results in "click to choose files" and "notify me of replies" appearing. Can someone more computer literate than I explain where I am going wrong please?

HOODLUM65 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yes. You're buying far too much stuff. Hey biscuits,note you are at the top of the table in the "Popular Contributors" column, relegating Jiangsu to 5th place. Now I have no issue with you but, "Popular Contributors" is a bit of a misnomer. Tranmere Saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Jamie, I'm struggling with the polls, as the buttons and check boxes won't appear at the foot of the poll window. To add additional names to the MOTM polls I had to click on where I thought the 'add option' box should be, and couldn't do it at all on my ipad. The pop up confirmation windows also have no text, just blank buttons. Got there in the end, but it's frustrating not being able to do it on my ipad. Sorry to sound whingey, if I hadn't done a thousand polls before I wouldn't have got there at all, so others may find it impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepless Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 yes, it still doesn't work. Most of the time it's okay, but as Broggy says it's a pain on match days. A full page load isn't always quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Jamie, appreciate the need for ads, but there is now a Domino's pop up ad that comes up time and time again and is a royal pain in the arse to get out off.
